If there's a DA that's actually letting a woman go missing and telling police not to search due to the wrongthink of her brother this is beyond disgusting. I'm going to hope its due to some other reason like laziness which would still be shitty but not quite on this level of fucked up and disgusting.

As a small recommendation if anyone uses twitter, consider sending a request to Texas Governor Greg Abbott about urging the police to help find Mercy. Retweet McGee's tweet to both his @GregAbbott and @GovGregAbbott twitters. If this is done in mass he might push for action. He's a great guy and really listens to the people.

OK, how the fuck does some like this become a district attorney? I mean even if they were looking for a diversity hire it shouldn't have been difficult to find someone more competent than she seems to be.

Just like any of the "Rich" cities in America. Dallas has become a small beacon of liberalism in Texas. It's not as bad as Houston and light years away from Austin, but it is slowly turning blue. The fear is that in the next 20 years all of Texas will be a liberal state.

Moderator intervention is the problem. What needs to be changed is a fundamental shift in attitude.

Yes, shills exist. But the problem is not the shills. It is how you respond to shills. Is a shill fielding a bullshit argument? You counter it with facts. If you need a mod to protect your fee-fees all you do is create a smaller and smaller hugbox.

Sure, continue to send emails, go to better sites, tweet about the state of the industry, mine salt from failed shills, and defend devs from censorship of their work.

Some personal suggestions not listed above would be:

Interactive meeting between KIA and here to give updates on happenings, goals, and what we could do proactive as a team, for example mass simultaneous email campaigns stickied in every thread and front page of all sites etc…

Build up a non-eceleb hangout to talk about gg via 1 host who just takes calls

More reaching out to Japan via letters and emails to corporations telling them about the agenda driven retards ruining their business and how to fight back and even gain more support and new business

emails will carry on regardless, getting KIA to do so as well would be amazingly effective.

Killing gaming journalism is happening all on its own. No worries there. It would be nice if a few survive and thrive though.

Glad we agreed on something, watching shills turn into /cow/s is delicious.

KIA needs to sort there shit out, as do we, but hearing it from outside parties on the same side is benefitical

Boycotts will never happen, telling gamers what to buy and not to is leaderfagging. Giving them the information to become informed consumer will lead to informed purchases. Boycotts would just give gamers a rep for not being consumers, that would make companies go to other sources of income like mobile and browser games.

At some point, anon, you have to realize that your wants are the minority and thus worthless to the majority wants. I had to accept that GG would willingly go into a culture war it can not win with journos giving the other side platform and helping them even. I was the minority, so I shut up about it and started mining salt in the culture war too.

Does not change the previous thread was censored and further does not change that KiA still does not have BGotD stickies anymore. If we want to reinvigorate email campaign it'll be an uphill battle. Worrying about shills and shitposting is not going to help with that.

>Boycotts will never happen 'cuase leaderfagging

Bullshit. You boycott websites. Perhaps some like reading Giant Bomb and Rock Paper Shotgun. Who are you to tell them not to visit those websites?

>At some point, anon, you have to realize that your wants are the minority and thus worthless to the majority wants.

Bowed down to peer-pressure instead of being your own man? Fucking pathetic.

You'll get over that, no mod needed to protect your fee-fees (your words) and do something about it, every bread is a new meal.

>Bullshit. You boycott websites.

Websites are not devs, nor games, nor are all of them not on our side.

>Bowed down to peer-pressure instead of being your own man?

Not at all, trying to change something that can not change without leaderfagging who be absolutely a waste of my productive time. What loser would devote their time and efforts in a losing battle? What loser would try and change ten of thousands of minds when statistically there are many smarter than them and more influential in informing uninformed consumers. This is a consumer run industry, the majority wins and the market corrects itself.

Look we all have good laugh at sjws trying to win a culture war in a capitalistic industry. They've been exposed and now they will be reminded of their minority non-gaming status. It sometimes keeps me up at night how silly they are to waste their time at a 100% chance of failure.

From now on, every single thing is examined for sjw bullshit and will be called out whether GG is blazing on twitter or not.

Don't be a salty person trying to change everyone else when there is no way you can. Too many already know what is going on and what they want to accomplish. It is pointless, and you will look retarded to everyone in this thread. You just may not be smart enough to be a good leader, accepting that might be your best bet.

Why I like to talk about FBI informats and super secret irc groups that have the power to make kop sperg, mark filter ralph and acid sperg on /v/ why would I post on /cow/ when this thread owns that drama

>if this were a thread about how much people love DOA or mature discussion about the way sexuality is portrayed it'd be fine

>"if you don't agree that these games are fine the way they are and you don't make constant concessions to our insane points of view, you're wrong and banned and threads deleted"

They try to sound so mature and rational, but what they really mean is the complete opposite of what they say. It's why a lot of outsiders don't get whats going on, they read a message like that and probably think "well, if these trolls were so hateful and irrational as this mod says, of course their threads would be banned".

Actually they want it as vague as possible what is and isn't acceptable so they can arbitrarily take control of other people's work they don't like, who are not in the crowd or refuse to hire their consultants.

They seem to not like being called sjws, which of course means it will now stick forever. Which might give evidence that the sure way to defeat radicals is to mock them, and if they are the useful narcissistic idiots as predicted, their narcissism will not want to deal with that type of criticism.

When I look at a Senran I see a happy, strong girl who's following her dreams and growing through combat with other girls like her.

When they look at a Senran they see nothing but a piece of meat sexdoll, and they feel BAD about that and decide to start complaining to everybody around them about how women are objectified in video games.

I can almost understand why that is. Being a freshman at college once, I almost fell into that SJW trap. You're taught by your professors and peers that change has to happen in the world, but not told how to achieve it.

Now you're left with this huge burden. What do you do next? You do what you can; by warning others about this injustice and trying to get them to shoulder some of this burden as well. Anything to rid you of that awful, awful guilt.

Luckily, for me, I realized that change has to first start from the home. I imagine this is yet to be the case with these SJWs.

Life is the best video game filled with every genre available, it has engaging story and never before seen enemies in any other work of fiction! What better reward than to see these people lose and save the world from these monsters?

Depends what you grind for. Passing that math test might take a few days/weeks. Getting that promotion at work might take half a year, getting that cutie pie to accept your proposal might take longer, etc.

>no final boss

Cheating death and living as long and as fullfilled as possible is the final boss. Beating that cancer, etc.

i went to a mostly black school and every fucking week youd learn the same shit about slavery. oh we would never get in to detail, who sold the slaves or captured them in the first place. the image they put in kids heads is white men went around with giant butterfly nets and scooped up all the blacks they could.

a cousin told me in white schools it wasnt really much different

guilty guilty GUILTY, its your fault kids!

it made sense for the nigs at my school to buy in to it. everyone likes being told theyre owed something or having an excuse to act like a shit head, but it really bothers me how many people ended up buying in to the guilt tripping too

im sure if they expressed that they felt otherwise they were reprimanded in some form.

The principle behind that pathological mindset isn't necessarily to be grandiose, to consider yourself perfect or even better than others; it is a misuse of a lack of self. Not just self-reliance or self-respect, but self.

Basically, a narcissist is someone that is considering themselves to be exactly what they want to be, and nothing else.

You have simplistic examples of such a thing : "look, I bought an SUV, proof I'm a REAL MAN !". Of course the car has shit to do with whether or not you're a "man", but you are simply using the car as a tool, as a cosmetic dissimulation of the fact that you yourself need to feel like you are a "man", whatever that even means.

So all that counts is this : self-validation of being whatever you claim you are, without even having to work towards "being" that. And that's an easy fit : just rewrite the definition of anything you demand you are ("being a man is being a true male ally !", "being a woman is being a victim of rape culture !", "being a respected developer is having lots of followers on twitter !", "being famous is being talked about on gawker !", etc, etc.), and poof ! you're that, since the word to describe who you swear you are is now more important than its actual meaning.

However, narcissists are also terrified of anything and anyone who'll put them in danger of having to face their "real" self, and ignore the cosmetic bullshit they've applied to themselves. And there is always but a single answer to anyone challenging that situation : violence. Any shape of it; just anything that destroys what they're most terrified of, self-reflection.

That happens much more often to men than women, but it recently spread quite a bit to both genders, as the recent younger generation has been educated by uninspired, indifferent parents, who allow their kids to do whatever bullshit online, watch reality TV or do whatever irresponsible crap without consequences and self-consideration. And if someone has no parental figure from their own parents… well, they'll just go look for a father and a mother somewhere else.

Thus, an entire generation of people educated by television, tumblr or pop stars. I mean, if your parents don't care about you, you can either live with that fact -and no child can bear that, so you go through depression or some other mental breakdown-, or invent new ones. The risk is having "fake" parents that don't help you grow up; therefore, the children remain children even far in adulthood.

Try to consider an adult, with the power of an adult (drinking, driving, voting, etc.), but with the genuine mind of an 8 year old kid that never stopped being 8 years old.

Now try not shitting yourself.

Women tend to be more often borderline than narcissists, which is pretty much the same, the other way around : you are whatever people tell you you are, as only external validation matters and defines you.

Both narcissists and borderlines are "self-less", have no self, no way to delimit their own personality, identity.
